After Cleveland’s steam pounced on a muffed punt by Panthers rookie Trevor Etienne, giving the offence the ball at Carolina’s 10-yard line, Sanders didn’t waste time, rolling to his left, he spotted Kaden Davis in the end zone and fired a perfectly placed ball between two defenders, scoring a perfect touchdown.

Pride was running high in the Sanders family, with Coach Prime himself sharing his joy on social media: “Yes Lawd! Yes! @ShedeurSanders,” Deion Sanders posted on X.

NBA legend LeBron James couldn’t help but weigh in on the rookie’s sharp showing, writing, “That young 🤴🏾 looking good out there! @ShedeurSanders Keep going UP!!! HEAD down on the grind and HEAD high to the most high 🙌🏾🫡” on X.
